A work of historical fiction, Angel tells the story of Angelica Kauffman, who lives with her father in 18th century Venice, eking out a living painting portraits and doing reproductions for the nobility. She sold her first portrait at age eight, and was allowed to study in galleries where no women artists were admitted. Despite her success, life is difficult. Angelica and her father are always seeking the next generous patron. Her dream is to create magnificent history paintings. But few patrons will support such work within a man's domain. Short of a miracle, how can she accomplish her goal? The tides of fortune change when Lady Wentworth offers to whisk Angelica off to London. The art world there promises opportunities no artist could afford to turn down. However, the price is steep. Angelica must leave her father, as well as fellow artist Antonio, who has made her protection his mission in life. Leaving home at a young age is never easy. But for an artist who has vowed, for the sake of her art, never to marry, it is even harder. Angelica finds herself in the company of the dapper, fun-loving Nathaniel and the sensitive, brooding Henry. Joshua Reynolds, the king of the London art world, becomes her mentor. And then there is a certain Count with piercing blue eyes, who carries a secret and who will not be denied. Angelica journeys to London with the inner command Paint with your soul! Yet it takes a lifetime to understand not just what that means, but how to fully live it.
